I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

To be honest, Jiang Hao had a very good impression of this Junior Brother Pang.

Although the first generation of sweepers was inexperienced because he took charge of the company right after graduation.

This caused problems with the sales plan and ultimately the product failed.

But the second and third generations turned the tide, and now everyone is optimistic about the upcoming fourth generation.

In less than three years, Junior Brother Pang quickly transformed from a student to the role of CEO.

Now that Professor Duan is willing to support his disciple, Jiang Hao, as a senior, will naturally not fall behind.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room began to support Pang Yi.

It was not until Mr. Lei took his seat that Jiang Hao expressed his idea of ​​the financing plan to him.

"No problem, we at Xiaomi Technology can accept both solutions."

"But I just visited the company and thought of a question."

Mr. Lei does not have a clear preference between the two options.

After all, the main business is mobile phones, and what we value now is the development of the ecological chain model.

The sweeping robot is just an important product to open up the ecological chain, not the main business.

It is because the market potential this year is so huge that Mr. Lei is particularly active.

Now that the financing plan has been finalized, new requirements have begun to be put forward.

"Boss Lei, you go ahead."

“I hope that after the C round of financing, Deebao Technology will set up its own production plant!”

"The overall R&D team of Deebao Technology is very strong, whether it is hardware or software, and the sales volume has reached a certain level."

"If the whole chain can be completed at the terminal factory, although the initial cost will be relatively high, the cost of the subsequent products can be reduced more."

"There is also product quality control. Our own factory pays more attention to standards and requirements, so we can have higher standards."

Mr. Lei’s request is reasonable.

For a company with specific products, setting up its own factory and connecting the entire upstream and downstream is indeed the right path for development.

It is not easy to be strangled in the future. Even if the product is imitated, it will take a long time, and the quality control can achieve a better yield rate.

At this moment, Jiang Hao looked at Pang Yi again, asking for his opinion.

The benefits of opening your own factory are obvious, but they are all based on a big premise.

That is if the factory is well managed. You must know that the pressure and difficulty of the manufacturing industry are different from those of ordinary companies.

For a high-tech technology company, a company with three to four hundred employees is considered to be quite large.

But if applied to the manufacturing industry, this is just the initial stage of moving away from family workshops and can be considered a small or medium-sized factory.

In addition, the difficulty of factory management, recruiting people and a series of other tasks are a new area.

Jiang Hao was not sure whether his factory management skills could be applied to the manufacturing industry, as there were too many new things he needed to learn.

"No problem. I just happened to have the idea of ​​opening a factory to reduce costs."

"Mr. Lei, after the C round, I promise to build my own factory as soon as possible, and start production of the next generation of products next year as much as possible in my own factory."

Pang Yi was getting more and more excited at this moment. He went from being silent at the beginning to communicating directly with Mr. Lei.

There is a bit of the passion of young people, but Mr. Lei is quite fond of it, and there is always a bit of appreciation in his eyes for the energetic young people.

"Then let's talk about the specific price. Let's not haggle. I can accept a valuation that is slightly higher than the market price."

"However, for the sake of our future cooperation, I hope that Mr. Duan, Mr. Pang, and all the directors can give a reasonable price."

Mr. Lei still spoke gently and sincerely, asking them to name their price.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Xiaomi Technology does not have many chips in hand.

Dibao Technology is currently receiving attention in the capital market. If it weren't for Mr. Lei indirectly holding the order, no one would consider letting Xiaomi invest.

This final sentence also made Jiang Hao and others hesitate in making their bids.

As Dibao's first party in the future, the higher the financing price it offers now, the lower the profit Xiaomi will be willing to keep in the future. It can be regarded as a kind of mutual restraint.

Everyone looked at Jiang Hao. When it came to the critical step of price, the right to speak was tacitly in Jiang Hao's hands.

Jiang Hao thought about it for a moment while sitting in his seat, and decided to go with the price he had originally considered.

"Boss Lei, how about a valuation of 70 billion? We're not asking too much, so we're pretty sincere, right?"

This price is Jiang Hao's psychological expectation, and he has discussed it with Professor Zheng before, although it is slightly higher than the market price.

But fortunately, Deebot Technology is considered the leader in sweeping robots, so the price is not too high.

In the current market environment, it is relatively reasonable.

"Okay! Then the valuation is 70 billion, and the shares are 20%."

"The main two requirements were written into the contract. The first was to upgrade the Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner every year, and the second was to build our own factory."

……

The contract was signed faster than Jiang Hao had imagined. At around 6 o'clock that evening, the contract was formally checked and confirmed before being signed.

After the C round of financing, the final valuation of the Deebao sweeping robot reached 70 billion yuan.

Among them, Xiaomi Technology invested RMB 14 billion and held a 20% stake.

After the dilution of the remaining shares of Dibao Technology, the largest shareholder is Professor Zheng, holding a 29% stake.

Among the remaining people, Professor Duan holds 26.3%, Pang Yi holds 3.75%, Jiang Hao holds 3.14%, Lu Weiming holds 5.56% and Yang Tianhao holds 5.56%.

The company’s employee option pool was re-subsidized by 10%, and this portion of shares continued to be held by Professor Duan.

After this round of financing, the shareholding structure of Dibao Technology began to become clear.

At the same time, the shares held by everyone are no longer as insignificant as before.

The path to listing has gradually become clear. After the successful launch of this generation of products, we can officially start trying to go public after the D round of financing!

Jiang Hao invested less than 2.2 million yuan in Dibao in total, and it is now worth million yuan.

Some investments made a few years ago are gradually beginning to bear fruit.

……

Songjiang International Hotel.

After Jiang Hao took Mr. Lei to visit Haijing Technology.

At eight o'clock in the evening, I finally entered the private room with everyone and had a simple celebratory banquet.

In addition to Mr. Lei and many shareholders of Dibao Technology, Hu Sen and Mr. Wang were also at the dinner table.

After everyone raised their glasses, they started chatting with each other.

"Mr. Jiang, is your Haijing Technology currently accepting financing?"

Mr. Lei asked him tentatively while eating his food.

"No, I paid for the A round of funding for Haijing Technology myself. I won't consider the A round of financing before the product is launched."

There are countless investors who have expressed their intention to invest in Haijing Technology.

In fact, most investors do not quite understand or are not optimistic about short videos, but they are really optimistic about Jiang Hao and are willing to provide him with funds.

However, Jiang Hao had a huge amount of money in his hands, so he politely rejected them one by one and arranged for the A round later.
